So Jon's Dad bought a turkey hen a few months ago as a companion to a turkey rooster he had. His rooster died a few months ago and since then he has been letting the hen roam loose. She gets her breakfast by the backdoor every morning and then gets her dinner at the backdoor everynight. She chirps and clucks and follows you around the yard. Every time I go and get something from the garden she follows me about four feet away just chirping away and looking at me. She does the same thing to my husbands Dad lol. She has been roosting on the back porch. She is a cute little thing but she acts to me like she is lonesome. I caught myself talking back to her in the garden the other day lol. I was like uh ...if your trying to talk me out of cooking poultry for the holidays it isnt working. She isnt on the menu. She is a pet.
jainie- won't be long and she'll start slippin recipes for Thanksgiving HAM under your back door just before feedin' time- HEE-HEE! 
He got her as a companion to a turkey he had for a few years and a few weeks after he got her the male up and died. He thought about taking her back to the farm he bought her from but they would just resell her. Not a good option with Thanksgiving soon.
lol Kev.
lol Kev.
This has been going around for years but I always get a good laff from it because I know people this could actually work on.
The Pregnant Turkey
Last year at Thanksgiving, my mom went to my sister's house for the traditional feast. Knowing how gullible my sister is, my mom decided to play a trick. She told my sister that she needed something from the store.
When my sister left, my mom took the turkey out of the oven, removed the stuffing, stuffed a Cornish hen, and inserted it into the turkey, and re-stuffed the turkey. She then placed the bird(s) back in the oven.
When it was time for dinner, my sister pulled the turkey out of the oven and proceeded to remove the stuffing. When her serving spoon hit something, she reached in and pulled out the little bird.
With a look of total shock on her face, my mother exclaimed, "Patricia, you've cooked a pregnant bird!" At the reality of this horrifying news, my sister started to cry.
It took the family two hours to convince her that turkeys lay eggs!
